Ok I'm not sure why this caught my eye. I was browsing in the Frontier Trading Post for some pins with friends. I'm not into trading pins (yet), but I my friends are big fans of the sport. I guess you could compare their pin trading to my love of photography that brings us back to the parks.
Magic Shawl from Twinkle’s Big City Knits
Yarn: Kauhavan Kangasaitta, Melli, 100 % wool
Needles: 15 mm for cables, 12 mm for ribbing
Adjustments: left away those crocheted loops for hands, unnecessary and unpractical.
these magic wands were wet felted around a resist and then firmly stuffed with wool. Just for fun, I added some beads and jingle bells. Perfect for any fairy princess. Check my blog for more info sweetpeafelts.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/for-the-pack-family/
A truly wise and magical book. Some of my favorite lines that made me smile:
Wonderful, and real. Wonderful because real.
We are all cousins. Your family tree includes not just obvious cousins like chimpanzees and monkeys but also mice, buffaloes, iguanas, wallabies, snails, dandelions, golden eagles, mushrooms, whales, wombats, and bacteria. All are our cousins. Every last one of them. Isn't that a far more wonderful thought than any other myth? And the most wonderful thing of all is that we know for certain it is literally true.
We have to know what we don't understand, and admit it to ourselves, before we can begin to work on it.
The fact that our eyes can see through only a tiny slit in the middle of the vast spectrum, that we can see only a slender band in the huge range of rays that scientific instruments can see, is a lovely illustration of the power of science to excite our imagination: a lovely example of the magic of the real.
We don't have to invent wildly implausible stories: we have the joy and excitement of real scientific investigation and discovery to keep our imaginations in line. And in the end that is more exciting than fantasy.
"No testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous than the fact which it endeavours to establish"
-David Hume

This is a variation of a wonderful picture by ancawonca called, "Magic hour." Please take a look at it. She did a wonderful job, and compares it to an early image of the same location.
While hers is a magical depiction of a pretty and serrendipitous reality, I tried to give the same image a slightly surreal feel. Sort of to give a message that the spiritual, supranatural hides below the surface of our percieved reality.
This is posted with ancawonka's permission, and I thank her for it.
The 5th comment is hers, and has a link to the original. Please pay her a visit!

A very magic square by David M. Collison -- if you square the numbers, it still works. (Ignore the colored primes -- a red herring. 41 is the only number of interest.)

Today, the earth and sky...
the flowers and the garden, the clouds and the breeze
are meeting.

None of my works can be used.
This one started out as a test shot but I ended up liking this one better than the shot I had planned. To light the apple I started by cutting a large rectangle out of the back of the apple. I then hollowed out the apple with a melon baller. I left the walls about a ¼ inch all around. I then built a snoot using black construction paper lined on the inside with tin foil. Using the snoot I wedged a sb600 into the back of the apple. I used photoshop and light room for minor touch ups but most of the work was done in camera.
